We visited this restaurant after picking up a friend from Nantes airport. There was a friendly greeting from the owner & son when we arrived. The food choice was varied & we tried a selection of starters & main courses with a recommended bottle of wine. The restaurant is situated next to the river Maine - very picturesque with ducks & waterlilies. A very enjoyable lunch!!

Olivier the owner has been very welcoming as soon as we got into the restaurant . Not only the food was delicious with high quality and original meals, but also Olivier creates a great atmosphere where you can interact with other clients , be at ease and really enjoy yourself . The location is wonderful with a lovely view on the river . Highly recommended if you want to have a good time

First time in a while since I've been to La Digue. I was pleased last time I went but today the weather made the whole experience even better. The location (once you've made the steep descent to the riverside) is idyllic. Foregoing the days selection on the ardoise I chose the fois gras entrée and the the Merlu fish option. Both courses were of generous portions and the local Mareuil wine was fine and fruity.

This is a lovely little restaurant down by the river, right under the walls of the château. It has a varied menu that should suit all tastes. The quality of the food is outstanding and the portion size should suit even the most hungry, the staff are very pleasant and the service is good. Even though it is a 45 minute drive from my home, I will be returning again soon, not the cheapest, but excellent value for money at lunchtime, I must try it in the evening, if you are in the are, don't miss this gem.

We stopped for lunch in Montaigu, unknowingly during the annual book fair. The restaurant was packed with a large group of book people and because of this, there was only a limited menu on offer. Despite the number of people, the service was great, with no obvious delays and the food excellent - Salad Landais and wonderful Smoked Salmon maison followed by the best Entrecote we have both had in years (apparently from locally sourced meat). Made to feel really welcome by all the staff. Will definitely be back to sample the wider menu.

On the way to Bordeaux, we wanted lunch other than at a rest stop on the highway. By chance, we saw the town on the map and saw it had several restaurants. We chose La Digue because it was on the river. The cuisine was varied and locally sourced. The duck confit was made totally in-house, and the salmon was smoked by the owner-chef. When we were having some difficulty in translating the menu, the owner’s nephew, who was the manager, readily translated. When we asked where he had learned English, he said he had just returned from Great Britain where he worked in a Michelin starred restaurant. Enough said.

La Digue Restaurant is perfectly situated, slotted in between the Maine river of the Vendée (a Loire tributary famous for the wines Muscadet de Sevre et Maine) and the enormous medieval ramparts of the ancient city of Montaigu. In late September 2016 the Vendée and the Maine had been affected by three months of almost total drought, after extremely wet months of May and June, so for our visit the river was quite low and scarcely flowing over the low weir, but still quite healthy with fish dappling the surface and ducks swimming around foraging. Kayakers were launching their canoes. The Road outside is one way, with ample free parking along the verges.The restaurant was quite busy when we tur...
